Sweet Bliss

The Alvey's have a cabin up in Oakley that they go up to every few weekends. I went up with them last winter, and the beginning of October they invited me to go and spend a Saturday up their with them and again it was so fun! It was pretty cold, but there was no snow yet this time, which was quite nice. The first time I was nervous to go because I was going to meet most of his extended family on his mom's side, but they are all so nice and now that I know them all, this time there were no nerves!:) They have three horses, Poco, Chief, and Tawny and not gonna lie...they scare me! They are just so big! They are really fun to ride though, so both times Adam and I took a ride on Poco, Adam's favorite horse ha ha.

The first time I went with them to their cabin, we took Poco for a ride, swung on an old wooden swing, and went on a walk by the cute river that runs past their cabin where Adam basically fell through this hole of gross, mucky mud and my foot slipped into the freezing water. Our feet were not in the greatest of shape for the rest of the day ha ha!

This second trip was much less traumatic:) We took another ride on Poco and stopped at a natural spring where we drank some delicious, freezing cold water and rode past the beautiful river. I love being out where you can't see a single cabin, house, anything, just trees and mountains and the river, it is so peaceful and pretty. The one funny event was after we drank from the spring, Adam got back onto Poco and as I was trying to get on, Poco started running away (that is how much he doesn't like me! ha ha!) and I was literally horizontal and hanging on for dear life until Adam helped pull me up and made Poco stop running ha ha. Quite the experience:) Like the first time at their cabin, Adam's mom and siblings fed us a late delicious lunch and then we headed home.

The love each other!


Adam doesn't like pictures in general, but he's quite good at the goofy ones


We're cute:)


Thanks Alvey's for being so nice and inviting me up to your cabin! I had a blast!
